Security
Your Order is Safe & Secure!
Today's popular media sources have led many people to believe that it is not safe to send your credit card information over the Internet. Though these concerns may be valid when dealing with other on-line stores, ordering through RioAudio.com is certain to provide you with a safe and secure credit card transaction.
Why is it secure?
Your order is secure because we utilize VeriSign digital certificates for all of our on-line commerce. VeriSign couples its authentication service with state-of-the-art encryption technology in its digital certificate solutions. A VeriSign digital certificate serves as an online credential that allows a business to control access to multiple resources on the Internet, and encrypts Web transactions between Rio (Digital Networks North America, Inc.) and its customers for privacy and security using powerful SSL technology. Rio's certificate was issued only after VeriSign authenticated and verified our identity. Once issued to properly authenticated users, certificates enable online businesses to bring together buyers in a trustworthy digital environment.
What pages are secure?
Rio (Digital Networks North America, Inc.) secures the order form page in order to ensure a safe credit card purchase. Other pages are not secured in order to increase the transmission speed.
We currently offer secure transactions using Netscape or Microsoft's web browsers. You'll know that a page is secure when you see a full yellow key in a blue box in the lower left-hand corner of your Netscape browser or, if you use Internet Explorer, when you see a full "lock" in the status bar. If you use another type of browser, you'll still be able to place an order but we cannot verify that the transaction will be secure.

In addition, all of Rio's stored information is firewall protected in a manner designed to prevent unauthorized "hacks" into our systems. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of your data will not occur, we work hard to prevent such occurrences.
Will this Privacy Policy ever be changed? How can I find out about any changes to this Privacy Policy?
Our privacy policy could change in the future. As our business and services expand and change, we will update this policy to provide you with information about changes to our privacy policy, including how we treat Personal Information collected through our services.
Updates to this policy, including opportunities to opt out of data collection, will be posted on our Web site indicating the policy has been updated.
